[Cyber_punk]

That spoil in the third quarter, when 95% of players would have let the oppo player mark it.

Fritsch is gonna have a night light with Archer staring at him through the window.

**** off to the posters who said he wasn’t good enough

 

[prodigalson]

Bloody hell im hurting after the game but I had to get on here to credit this fella.

Arch is playing the role we have lacked for so long and the faith in him from the coaching staff is a credit to his commitment.

Anyone who has doubted his spot has been proven wrong over the last month.

 

[gerry101101]

He has the one thing we lacked for about 3 years up to the end of May this year - absolute desire.

Now the team seems to have it; because it’s contagious.

And that’s why a trait like that is invaluable in a footballer.

It’s what makes a very good footballer like Wardlaw next level, and an ok footballer like Archer capable of contributing so strongly to a team as he did today.

Best 8 disposal game in years. Fritsch is a very good forward and archer made him look like a timid kid.

 

[BlueandWhiteElf]

Mate, what a joy to watch. Keep up the great work Jackson!

 

[Engimal v3]

I had a suspicion when we drafted him that he'd be on the list for 2 years then be playing country footy somewhere - and I'm so happy to be wrong. He's a genuine AFL-level defender.

 

[pizzasteve88]

Change the thread title.

Tore Fritsch a new one.

Maybe a name change for The Acurate One to the Inaccurate One.

 

[roomagic1984]

Just imagine what he will be like with some extra kg on his frame.

 

[Karanicolas]

The team improved as soon as he came in this year. Only Wardlaw shows more consistent intensity at the contest.

Sat behind the goals city end, had a great view.

2 mins to go I told my 16yr old daughter: "now you know what it felt like watching Glenn Archer".

You can't teach intensity and intent. He has every bit of both like his old man.

Absolutely love him.

My son is 26, only remembers Arch Sr a little bit. I said tonight, after the game: "that was how Glenn played his whole career." Jacko is so much a chip off the old block it's not funny.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Fantastic response from last week. A vote-worthy game. Not only did he send Fritsch to Siberia, but he ran off his man numerous times, took crucial marks and generated a tonne of run.

I think we have a player here people!

I just got a buzz from shouting "Go Arch" through the night. Spent many nights at the G back in the day shouting and feeling the same thing.

Crack out the list, it's time for "I told you so"

Picked him to bounce back and he destroyed Fritsch.

Last week would have hurt him and that was a great response.

Not just the tackling and spoils, the intercept marking too.


Give him the number 11 now. Winding back the clock 25 years tonight.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

I love him, I have no other words. What a shinboner

 

[Nate1993]

Waiting on all Archer related highlights for this game.

Also weird looking at the stats and only seeing 8 disposals, at the ground it felt like he was everywhere

 

[berniemccarthy]

You can’t question his effort but let’s be honest if his last name wasn’t Archer he wouldn’t be close to being on an AFL list.

I think you will find that your comment is complete bollocks.

 

[nelroo]

Was it him who had a Dees player stone cold holding the ball ( that wasnt paid) in our forward line?

 

[Makeshift Park]

Dare I say: one of our top half a dozen players this game. By the last quarter, when I saw the ball head towards him in a contest, my heart rate decreased. There’s only 5 current north players that make me feel that way.

True, in that sense he's becoming the anti-McDonald.
